Detroit Red Wings News

4-22-16: The Red Wings had some momentum heading into Game 4, and they played a couple of close games with the Tampa Bay Lightning in Games 4 and 5, but Detroit’s offense did not produce enough to push the series to six games. Petr Mrazek looked strong in net, but the Red Wings scored in just one of the six periods in those contests.

4-18-16; The Lightning took the first two games of the series on its home ice, but the Red Wings had some home cooking of their own. In Sunday’s Game 3, center Andreas Athanasiou and winger Henrik Zetterberg combined for 10 shots, and they each had their first goals of the postseason, as Detroit won, 2-0.

4-4-16: On Friday and Saturday, the Red Wings won by the score, 3-2, behind strong performances by Jimmy Howard. Detroit allowed the visiting Minnesota Wild to attempt only 22 shots on Friday, but Howard was busier in net the next night. In the second of the two victories, Howard turned away 32 of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 34 shots.

3-22-16: The Red Wings have been very streaky recently, but they look for their third consecutive win on Tuesday at Tampa Bay, as Detroit hopes to win the season series against the Lightning. Jimmy Howard was in net in each of the last two victories. Goalie Petr Mrazek, who is dealing with an illness, lost the previous two contests and is 2-4 in March.

3-3-16: Eight games remain at Joe Louis Arena in the regular season, and the Red Wings are looking forward to clinching a 25th straight postseason berth. Over the next month of games, the average price for Detroit Red Wings tickets is $126.59 on the secondary market.

2-17-16: Backup goalie Jimmy Howard has struggled in net for the Red Wings, as he has not played in a Detroit victory since December 3. On Monday, he gave up four goals for the third consecutive start and his team lost, 4-1, to the Islanders. Starting goalie Petr Mrazek, a winner of four of his last five starts, will look to get the Red Wings back on track on Thursday at Pittsburgh.

2-10-16: Losses at Tampa Bay and at Florida were frustrating for the Red Wings, who needed to find their groove after a frustrating second half of January. However, Detroit bounced back on Saturday, as they defeated the visiting New York Islanders, 5-1, to move to 26-18-8 on the season. Then on Monday, the Red Wings got revenge against the Panthers by winning, 3-0.

2-1-16: The fifth-place Red Wings are in the midst of a very close playoff race and each of their next four games are against current playoffs terms in their conference. The first two contests are in Tampa Bay and Florida, but Detroit then returns home for a four-game homestand. The first game is against the New York Islanders, who the Red Wings defeated, 4-2, in their final game before the All-Star break, and the second is another contest against the Panthers.

1-28-16: The Red Wings were able to cruise past the Islanders in Brooklyn on Monday night, beating the borough's newest sports franchise, 4-2, at Barclays Center. The team enters the All-Star break with third place honors in the Atlantic division at 25-16-8. With 16 games now remaining at Joe Louis Arena this season the average price for Detroit Red Wings tickets is $118.02 on the secondary market.

1-19-16: The Red Wings have played .500 hockey over their last 10 games, though still remain well in the hunt for the top spot in the Atlantic division. They trail the Panthers by three points through 45 games and will. Over the remaining 18 games at Joe Louis Arena the average price for Detroit Red Wings tickets is $121.87 on the secondary market.

1-12-16: A four-game win streak was snapped in Los Angeles yesterday as the Red Wings fell to the Kings, 2-4. They'll end their West Coast run with a game against the Coyotes on Thursday and hope to remain on the trail to the top of the Atlantic division. With 19 games remaining at Joe Louis Arena during the regular season the average secondary market price for Detroit Red Wings tickets is $120.56.

1-6-16: The Detroit Red Wings moved into second place of the Atlantic Division this week with their most recent two-game winning streak and trail the division leading Florida Panthers by five points. They have four games remaining on their six-game road trip with games against the San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks this week.

12-23-15: It has been a period of mediocrity for the Red Wings, who enter the holiday break on a one-game skid and a 5-2-3 over their last 10. They are still right in the hunt for the top spot in the Atlantic division, however, and sit just two games out of a first-place tie with the Canadiens. The average price for Red Wings tickets at Joe Louis Arena is $127.95 over the final 20 games of the season on the secondary market.

12-18-15: The Red Wings skate into the weekend losers of their last two, but still possess third place in the Atlantic division. Over their remaining 23 games at Joe Louis Arena during the regular season, the average price for Red Wings tickets is $123.98 on the secondary market.

12-9-15: The Detroit Red Wings are 7-0-3 in their last 10 games and are taking a three-game win streak into the mid-week clash with the Washington Capitals. The level of competition increases on December 10th when they take on the first-place Montreal Canadiens.

11-16-15: Joe Louis Arena will host just two games this week as the Red Wings welcome the Capitals and Kings. Over that time the average price for Red Wings tickets on TicketIQ currently average $84.53. Friday's game with the Kings is the more expensive of the pair with an average price of $101.60 and $33 get-in price.

11-6-15: A playoff berth last season hasn't been enough to spark the fire under the Red Wings this season, as the team sits at just 6-5-1 on the season entering their 13th game against the Maple Leafs tonight. With 36 games remaining at Joe Louis Arena, the average price for Red Wings tickets is $114.86 on the secondary market.

4-28-15: The Wings will be heading to a game seven Wednesday night in Tampa Bay. After getting tremendous goaltending from Petr Mrazek, Detroit is only one game away from advancing to next round where they will play the Canadiens. Anything can happen in a game seven. Detroit does have two road wins in Tampa thus far.

4-20-15: The series maybe tied at 1-1 but Detroit hasn’t looked too good. After a magnificent performance from goalie Petr Mrazek in game one, in which he stopped 44 of 46 shots in the Wings 3-2 victory, he looked awful in game two. He gave up four goals on 18 shots and was pulled for Jimmy Howard in the 5-1 loss. Head coach Mike Babcock will go back to Mrazek in game three as the series shifts back to Detroit.

4-13-15: Despite ending the season on a 3-1-1 roll, the Red Wings don’t have much hope entering the playoffs. They haven’t won consecutive games in six weeks. Their goaltending situation remains unstable, even with Petr Mrazek playing well down the stretch. Of course, it might not matter who is between the pipes. A matchup with the Lightning will be tough for Detroit.

4-7-15: Could the Wings miss the playoffs? Well, it is certainly possible now. The Red Wings could see their streak of 23 seasons with a playoff berth come to an end this season. They are 5-10-2 in their past 17 games and have the Senators and Bruins nipping at their heels for third place in the Atlantic. They will probably get into the playoffs but could be wildcard team.
Could the Wings miss the playoffs? Well, it is certainly possible now. The Red Wings could see their streak of 23 seasons with a playoff berth come to an end this season. They are 5-10-2 in their past 17 games and have the Senators and Bruins nipping at their heels for third place in the Atlantic. They will probably get into the playoffs but could be wildcard team.

3-31-15: The Red Wings' playoff spot is not in jeopardy but they did lose three out of four games this past week. Petr Mrazek had been outperforming Jimmy Howard to a significant in net. Mike Babcock opted to start him in consecutive games on the weekend. Detroit will almost certainly face either Montreal or Tampa in the first-round.

3-24-15: The Red Wings will not miss the playoffs, but they’ve been limping along with no one noticing. Detroit is 8-9-2 and has lost six of their last nine games played. They will most likely finish third in the Atlantic and have first-round date with either Montreal or Tampa Bay. If the Wings can get their act together, they could become a dangerous squad.

3-3-15: The Wings are in the thick of things in a crowded top of the Eastern Conference. After a three-game losing streak in February, Detroit has won four of their last six games, including a huge 4-3 win at Nashville this past Saturday. Detroit did trade for veteran forward Erik Cole from Dallas on Sunday, and acquired veteran defenseman Marek Zidlicky from the Devils on Monday.

2-9-15: The Red Wings had a perfect week, beating the Avs and the Coyotes. Detroit has now won nine
of its last 10 games played. Detroit has the best record in the Eastern Conference in terms of
points percentage, despite a 2-7 record in the shootout. Even without Jimmy Howard in the lineup, the Wings are once again a legitimate contender.

2-4-15: The Wings are sixth in the NHL in goals per game and have the league’s best power play.
Detroit sits seventh in goals against and has the 10th best penalty kill in the entire NHL.
Currently, they sit one point behind Tampa Bay for the best record in the East. The Wings have won seven of their last eight games played. Along with Boston, Detroit is one of the scarier teams come playoff time.

1-26-15: The Wings are 2-7 in the shootout this season. Well, why does that matter? If they were .500 or just above, then they would hold the top spot in the East. They’re tied for second in the East and this season might be Mike Babcock’s finest job to date. Nobody is talking about the Wings and that is just how they like it. Detroit has won five straight games, and eight of their last 10. Edmonton Oilers (12-26-9)

1-22-15: The Red Wings have won five straight and seven of eight, which includes rallying from a 3-0 hole to beat the Sabres 6-4 this past Sunday. Detroit is 10-3-0 in their past 13 games and making a run for first place in the East. If Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg stay healthy, the Red Wings can do damage this season.

1-7-15: After losing six straight, the Red Wings are now 4-2-0 in their past six games after their 4-2
victory over Edmonton Tuesday night. They are right in the middle of the playoff picture in the East as they sit third in the Atlantic Division with 51 points. They are not too far from the conference leaders yet not too far from the wild-card teams. With four straight road games coming up, this could determine Detroit’s seeding come playoff time.

12-24-14: The Red Wings had lost six in a row prior to their 6-3 win over Buffalo Tuesday night. Four of their last seven games have gone to the shootout which means the Red Wings have two wins' worth of points during their last slump. The Wings had just six goals over that stretch, prior to their six-goal outburst Tuesday night.

12-17-14: After winning three in a row and six of seven, the Red Wings hit an oil slick last week dropping three straight games. Two of those losses came in the shootout, but two of them were against Toronto, a team right on their heels in the Atlantic. They dropped a tight 1-0 shootout contest to the surging Blue Jackets Tuesday night.

12-10-14: The Wings are one of the league's hottest teams right now, having won three straight games and seven of their last eight. Detroit is averaging four goals per game over that span. Many thought this would be the year Detroit would miss the playoffs and end their streak of 23 consecutive seasons with a playoff appearance. Well, that unlikely now barring disaster. They are the model franchise in professional sports today.

12-3-14: The Wings had won four straight games prior to their 4-3 setback Tuesday night to the Panthers. This franchise continues to defined excellence in the NHL. They have done it better than anyone for more than a decade, and continue to produce a quality product. They may or may not be championship contenders this season, but they will make you work for a victory.

11-26-14: The Red Wings finished last week 3-1 and got a win from Petr Mrazek, who was recalled to replace Jonas Gustavsson. Tomas Tatar has four goals in his past three games and seven goals in 10 games in November. This is the Detroit Red Wings we expected to see last season after making the jump to the Eastern Conference.

11-19-14: The Wings played just two games last week, beating Chicago 4-1 last Friday before falling to Montreal 4-1 on Sunday. It was a set of games that featured Jimmy Howard at his best turned aside 25 of 26 shots in the win, and allowed four goals on just 19 shots in the loss. Howard rebounded nicely Tuesday with a 28-save shutout, 5-0 win over Columbus.

11-12-14: The Red Wings have lost four of five, but Detroit has points three of those five games. They’ve also lost two out of three despite registering six power play goals. The Wings are strange team to get a read on this season. Their record has them just outside of the upper tier of the league, but there hasn't been a game where they looked outmatched.

11-5-14: Detroit won two of its three games last week, but dropped a game to Ottawa Tuesday night. The
Wings are good Fenwick team. Justin Abdelkader has 10 points in 11 games. The real story to
watch in Detroit is the Mike Babcock contract situation. Nothing is set in stone that he will return
to next season. He could become the most coveted head coach in NHL history.

10-29-14: Detroit split all three of their games last week going 1-1-1. Their lone regulation win was a comeback against the Penguins. Mike Babcock’s team rallied from 3-1 down in the third period to win 4-3 in overtime. The Red Wings have avoided the injury bug besides minor injuries to Pavel Datsyuk and Johnan Franzen. If they stay healthy, they will be in the playoffs for the 24th straight season.

10-22-14: Detroit is a respectable 1-0-1 record against Boston and is a perfect 2-0-0 against the Maple Leafs. The Red Wings' lone regulation loss was a 3-2 setback versus the Ducks. Their most recent defeat was a 2-1 overtime loss at the hands of the red-hot Montreal Canadiens. Soon they will get Pavel Datsyuk back to bolster an offense that is currently led by Henrik Zetterberg and Gustav Nyquist.

10-15-14: Detroit is a tough team to get a read on with Pavel Datsyuk out for about a month dealing with a shoulder injury. With Datsyuk out, the Wings will need other players to step up and pick up the slack. One player who has done that so far has been Gustav Nyquist. Nyquist broke onto the NHL scene last season and has continued his good play early on this season. Nyquist has two goals in his first two games this season.

10-10-14: Justin Abdelkader’s and Gustav Nyquist’s goals in the second period allowed the Detroit Red Wings to take a 2-1 win from the Boston Bruins in Detroit’s home opener. The Red Wings allowed a goal eight minutes into the game, but the two goals in the second were enough to hold off the Bruins. Jimmy Howard faced just 17 shots, making 16 saves.

4-28-14: The Wings were simply not healthy enough to beat the Bruins. Captain Henrik Zetterberg returned in Game 4 after a long layoff because of a back injury. He was not effective at all. Starting goalie Jimmy Howard missed the final two games of the series while battling a flu bug and Daniel Alfredsson missed both games in Detroit with an upper-body injury. The Bruins were the better team in the series no doubt. Gustav Nyquist had 48 points in 57 games during the regular season, but was held scoreless in the series.

4-21-14: Detroit did what they needed to do. Split in Boston and head home tied at one game apiece. Pavel Datsyuk’s goal at 16:59 of the third period last Friday in game one was the clincher as the Wings took game one 1-0. It came moments after Jimmy Howard’s best save of the game. Game two on the other hand was a different story. The Bruins dominated from start to finish and knocked Howard off his game. The Wings will need to tighten up defensively and stick to their style if they want to have a chance at another victory.

4-14-14: The Red Wings weren't great in April at all, but they were good enough to hold on to a playoff berth in the East. A 3-0 win over slumping St. Louis Blues team was a nice way to finish the regular season. Detroit will play Boston in the first-round and the Wings have won three consecutive games over Bruins after dropping their first contest this season.

4-7-14: The Wings saw their four game winning streak snapped in Montreal this past Saturday, but their surge has them looking good for the playoffs for the 23 straight season. Three of their final four games will take place on the road. Detroit is still badly injured, but could become a dangerous first-round matchup for either Pittsburgh or Boston. The experience of the Wings is still their and I would not want to play them in the opening round.

3-31-14: Despite all the injuries, the Red Wings are still in the playoff hunt. The Red Wings have lost Justin Abdelkader, Daniel Cleary, Pavel Datsyuk, Jonathan Ericsson, Stephen Weiss, and Henrik Zetterberg all to injuries. Veteran Johan Frazen and youngster Gustav Nyqusit have carried the bulk of the load for the Red Wings this season. If the playoffs began today, the Wings would face the Pens in the first round. That would be an intriguing series to watch.

3-25-14: The Wings let a point slip away against Minnesota this past Sunday, blowing a two goal lead in a 4-3 overtime loss. They still went 3-0-1 last week and climbed back into a playoff spot. The Wings are tied with Toronto (80 points) for the first playoff spot in the East. They are still crippled with injuries, but they could be a dangerous squad if they get into the playoffs. They would play Pittsburgh in the first round if the playoffs ended today.

3-17-14: President George H.W. Bush was the President of the United States the last time the Red Wings missed the postseason. It was 1990 the last time the Wings missed the postseason and fans should prepare themselves for that this year. Injuries have crippled Mike Babcock’s squad and you can now add Tomas Jurco to that list. It’s unfathomable to think of NHL postseason without the Wings. Frankly, Detroit is an old, injured, squad in desperate need of some young legs.

3-10-14: Detroit is desperately trying to hold onto its playoff spot while dealing with a cornucopia of injuries. It's hard to believe they would be able to keep up the pace in the west. The addition of David Legwand may help, but it isn't a game-changer. The Red Wings continue to tread water and hope no one behind them can chase them down. If they don’t make playoffs, it would be the first time since 1990.

3-3-14: They had two games this past week against the Senators and Canadiens, both of which are two teams they are battling for playoffs. They beat them both by a combined score of 8-2. It will be interesting to see if they can keep this up without Henrik Zetterberg for the rest of the regular season. GM Ken Holland must make a move to bolster the Wings offense. Thomas Vanek or Ales Hemsky could be players they may target.

It will be a night to remember at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit as the Red Wings honor one of the greatest NHL defensemen of all time, Nicklas Lidstrom. The former Red Wings captain who played twenty seasons with the team and helped bring them four Stanley Cups will see his no. 5 raised into the rafters and officially retired by the team before they face Colorado this Thursday. Lidstrom played 1564 regular season games with the same team which is more than any European born player in NHL history and the 12-time All-Star was winner of the James Norris Memorial Trophy 7 times. His name and number will forever live in Hockeytown alongside legends like Steve Yzerman, Gordie Howe, and Terry Sawchuk.

2-10-14: A 3-1-1 conclusion to their pre-Olympic schedule has the Wings in a wild-card spot. Jimmy Howard continues to falter, giving up 10 goals in his past three starts. You think it would be crazy for the Wings to trade for a goalie? It may just happen because of Howard’s play of late. Don’t be shocked if Thomas Vanek is wearing a Wings jersey come March. GM Ken Holland must make a splash if Detroit wants to keep their playoff hopes alive.

2-3-14: The good news for the Red Wings is that their shootout luck has reversed, as the club has won three of its last four games that ended after overtime. The bad news is that they can't seem to win any other way. The Wings sole regulation win in its last 10 contests came over the slumping Canadiens. Detroit is decimated with injuries and ultimately that could hamper their chances at making the playoffs this season.

1-27-14: The Red Wings continue to survive off the loser point as their shootout loss against the Panthers this past Sunday puts them at 2-0-1 in their past three and gives them 11 OT/SO losses this season. Even with all their injuries this season, the Red Wings are still in the thick of things for a playoff spot in the East. Jonas Gustavsson has 13 wins in 20 games this season. He had 41 in 105 career games entering this season.

1-20-14: Detroit won one of two games it played in the last week, and is 6-6-1 in its last 13.
The Wings seem a good bet to be one of the two teams in a wild-card spot. Their shootout luck has come around of late and they have games in hand on most of their opponents. They have 34 games to claim one of the final postseason berths. One of the things Detroit needs to get better at is holding leads. Only four teams in the NHL, the Flames, Islanders, Oilers and Sabres have a worse record when scoring first.

1-13-14: Detroit continues to toe the line between great play and underwhelming performances as they are 3-3-1 in their past seven games after losing in Anaheim this past Sunday. The Wings have been clinging to a playoff spot while dealing with a rash of injuries, but their improved health hasn't resulted in improved play. The Red Wings' power play is 0-of-21 in five games in January. The Wings need to play better or they might not make the playoffs, which would be the first time they didn’t since 1989-90 season.

1-7-14: Detroit's long losing stretch has come to an end, but the team is only managing to swap wins and losses as of late. A bubble team in the East, Detroit is facing a tough stretch of hockey, with games in San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim in a span of four days next week. Coming off serious injury last season, Todd Bertuzzi has struggled to produce this year. He has just 10 points in 37 games.

12-30-13: After losing six games in a row, the Red Wings are 3-0-1 in their past four games. Detroit is getting healthy as the first half of their season comes to a close. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg are back and Jimmy Howard could return this week. Things are looking up for Detroit. The ages of the top-4 scorers among forwards on the Red Wings are 35 (Datsyuk), 33 (Zetterberg), 41 (Daniel Alfredsson) and 34 (Johan Franzen).

12-23-13: Detroit has been slumping badly in December as a whole, but has begun to turn things around this week. The club won games this past Thursday and Saturday, which was the first time they won two in a row since November 29/December 1. The Red Wings downward slide would have to continue quite a bit longer to knock the team out of the playoffs altogether. With 43 points, the Red Wings have a seven-point lead on teams below them in the standings and only. Tomas Jurco's first week in the NHL went well. He had two goals and three points in four games.

12-16-13: Injuries are finally catching up to the Detroit Red Wings. They have lost five in a row and will be without goaltender Jimmy Howard for two to four weeks and center Stephen Weiss until at least after Christmas. Forward Johan Franzen also left this past Sunday's game against the Lightning after taking a hit to the head. The Red Wings are 5-8-6 at home which is the worst home record for any team currently sitting in a playoff spot in the NHL.

12-9-13: Detroit dropped games at home last week to Philadelphia and Florida, though they did beat New Jersey in a game in which they held the Devils to a paltry 11 shots. Jonas Gustavsson .930 save percentage this season is the best he’s over posted, including the .879 number he had for the Red Wings last year. He stopped 10 of the 11 shots he faced against the Devils and stopped 35 of 37 attempts in a losing effort to Florida.

12-2-13: Detroit has suffered through some tough times this season, including a seven-game losing streak in the middle of November, but the Wings have bounced back with five wins in their last six games. Detroit outscored its opponents by a combined 15-3 margin this past week and earned all six available points. Darren Helm, who played only one game last season due to injury, is having a nice bounce back year. In 14 games, Helm has seven goals and 10 points.

11-25-13: The Red Wings record is not indicative to what kind of team Ken Holland has assembled in Detroit. Make no mistake; the Wings are still a darn good hockey team. Detroit went 2-2 last week and capped it off by beating Buffalo 3-1 on Sunday. Stephen Weiss was brought in from Florida in the offseason to provide more scoring. So far, that hasn’t worked out according to plan. Weiss has only one goal and two assists on the season.

11-18-13: The Wings have lost six straight games but have five points during that span. The Wings outshot the Jets and lost in the shootout. They played well against Washington but lost in the shootout again. They got outplayed by the Islanders and suffered the same result; another shootout loss. Over the years, Detroit has been an excellent team at even strength. This year the Wings are a middle of the pack team with a 50.2 percent Corsi rating at even-strength.

11-12-13: Despite losing all three games they played this week, the Detroit Red Wings managed to salvage two points in two overtime losses. If you recall, Niklas Kronwall was hit by Colorado’s Cody McLeod a few week’s back and at the time it looked serious. Fortunately, for the Wings Kronwall wasn’t severely hurt and since that hit he has four points and is a plus-4 in eight games played. The Wings record is not indicative to what kind of team they have.

11-5-13: The Wings had an impressive Western Canadian road swing this past week finishing 3-0. They beat Vancouver and Calgary in a pair one-goal games and then throttled the lowly Oilers 5-0 in Edmonton. Daniel Alfredsson is on pace to eclipse his 26-point season last year in Ottawa. Through 15 games he has 13 points. It looks like Detroit is finally getting used to life in the Eastern Conference. Quietly, they are near the top of the NHL standings.

10-29-13: The Wings started off the week strong losing 1-0 to high-powered San Jose Sharks. They followed that up by getting crushed 6-1 by the Ottawa Senators where goalie Jimmy Howard was yanked from the game. Despite their recent struggles, the Wings remain near the top of the Eastern conference. Pavel Datsyuk’s 22 takeaways lead the NHL this season. Can the Wings continue to be successful will remain to be seen? Life in the Eastern Conference has potential to be wonderful for Detroit; so far they’re not taking advantage of it.

10-21-13: The Wings had their four-game winning streak snapped in Detroit Saturday by the Phoenix Coyotes but the biggest concern in the injury to star player Niklas Kronwall. He will be out indefinitely after sustaining a concussion following a dirty hit by Colorado’s Cody McLeod last week. This could spell trouble for Mike Babcock and the Wings. No one can replace what Kronwall brings to the Wings on the blueline. How Detroit goes on without him will be interesting to watch?

10-14-13: Detroit has six out of a possible 10 points in their first five games played this season. The Wings are on pace for a 98 point season, which would put them in the postseason. Henrik Zetterberg leads the team with six points, and Pavel Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall aren’t too far behind with 5 points each. It’s only five games in but there are some concerns in the Motor City. The Wings have lacked secondary scoring from Daniel Alfredsson, Johan Franzen, and Daniel Cleary thus far.

10-7-13: They probably should have lost to Carolina, but despite that the Wings have looked good early on. They are still getting used to their new conference rivals, but expect them to be up near the top of the standings the whole season.

8-22-13: No team is more affected by the NHL realignment than the Detroit Red Wings. Since 1981, the Red Wings have called the Western Conference home, but that all changes this year as they move into the east. GM Ken Holland made two significant moves in free agency signing center Stephen Weiss and longtime Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson. Alfredsson will return to Ottawa on Dec. 1 in what promises to be an emotional night in Canada’s capital. Detroit will host the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2014 Winter Classic on New Year’s Day at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.

8-21-13: The Red Wings have re-signed center Gustav Nyquist to a two-year deal. Last year, the 23-year-old appeared in 22 games and scored three goals and picked up three assists. He had two goals and three assists during the Stanley Cup playoffs.

8-3-13: Next season, the Red Wings will retire former Red Wings star Nicklas Lidstrom's number 5.

7-22-13: The Red Wings have agreed to a two-year deal with 24-year-old defenseman Brendan Smith.
